Lao Cao immediately mocked.
"You are so curious! You have heard about that thing at the bottom of the river. Even the river god and countless dead people and water monsters covet it. You think it must be some kind of treasure. So you want to get some benefits, right?"
Yuan Fei blushed and widened his eyes.
"Why do you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air! What are the benefits and not benefits?"
He continued to refute Lao Cao: "It can't be considered greed...it's really curiosity!...Can the things that happen to practitioners be considered greed?"
Then there were some mutterings and hesitations.
Li Miao and I laughed after hearing this.
The coffin shop was filled with a happy atmosphere.
In fact, everyone knows that the quarrel between Yuan Fei and Lao Cao is just a joke and to relax.
Before I came back, they didn't even know what the things under the water in the river bay were, so how could they be greedy?
Because if I hadn’t met Bai Su, learned many secrets, and confirmed it with the master. I guess we all thought that thing was extremely evil and terrifying!
To say it is a treasure is probably a joke.
"Boss, Brother Wu, you two distinguished guests, dinner is ready."
Wang Hu walked out of the kitchen carrying four large bowls of steaming noodles at the same time.
He had no hands at this time - they had turned into a mass of surging mist, and the mist was holding four large bowls steadily.
Seeing this scene, I laughed.
"Uncle Tiger has become a lot more powerful during this time."
"I have to thank Boss Cao. He lit the Soul-Gulding Incense and burned some real Yin paper for me."
Wang Hu said with some gratitude.
Four bowls of noodles were placed on the wooden table in the middle of the coffin shop. They were tomato and pork noodles.
Red tomatoes, fried and then boiled eggs, plus tender tenderloin, chewy noodles... make up this delicious bowl of noodles.
Just by smelling the aroma and looking at the appearance, you can feel the incomparable deliciousness!
Even Yuan Fei and Li Miao swallowed and said, surprised that a ghost could have such good cooking skills?
The four of us gathered around the table and started eating noodles.
While eating, I told them all the secret information I had obtained in the past few days...
Of course, for the sake of deliberately trying to hide the truth, I concealed Bai Su's true identity and called her "Miss Bai Su" throughout the whole process.
So Lao Cao and the others thought Bai Su was a human being!
What's more, their attention is focused on the mysterious black plant.
"Oh my God! If you eat just half of an immature leaf, you can instantly increase your cultivation level by several decades without any side effects. This is simply..."
Yuan Fei exclaimed, he seemed to be unable to find any adjectives to describe it.
Lao Cao also had a look of horror on his face, his eyebrows tightened, and he fell into silent thinking.
Li Miao never expected that his casual job of fishing out a drowned child would involve so many things.
In the end, it actually involves something unimaginable!
I slurped down the hot pot noodles quickly, and drank every drop of the soup. Then he put the bowl down, wiped his mouth and said to Lao Cao.
"According to what Miss Bai Su said, more than a year ago, there was an incident in Xiaowan Village where many practitioners joined forces to attack the river god and the dead and strange creatures in the water. It was probably to lure them away so that they could covet the water. Mysterious black plant. Lao Cao, don’t you feel anything at all?”
I do find it a bit strange.
After all, even if the incident happened in Xiaowan Village, it is still under the jurisdiction of Lianghe Town and is not far from the town.
With so many practitioners gathering together, wouldn’t it attract the attention of the locals at all?
Lao Cao's face suddenly showed an expression of sudden realization.
He slapped his thigh and shook his head.
"To put it this way...a few years ago, there was indeed a time when I felt that something was not right in the town! There were many outsiders coming, and they all had some sense of the ways."
"I was a little wary at first, but then I found that they were all well-behaved and honest, and they didn't do anything bad, and they stayed in the town for a very short time. I thought they were passing by to attend some kind of spiritual gathering somewhere else. This is also a common thing.”
"So, I didn't take it too seriously. I really didn't expect that this group of people would secretly cause such a big thing in Xiaowan Village not far away."
When Lao Cao said this, I roughly understood.
Information transmission was not developed in those days. If that group of people acted very carefully, they would not attract anyone's attention.
If it weren’t for Bai Su who experienced it personally, we probably would never have known!
"By the way, Lao Cao, did Boss Duan send over a copy of "Fubei County Chronicles"?"
I asked about business.
Although the master said that the mysterious black plant at the bottom of the river has not matured yet and will disappear soon. But we also need to have more information in advance.
What's more... From this incident, we can see that some of the strange things recorded in local county annals may be true!
Ordinary people may think that they are people from ancient times who do not understand scientific knowledge and engage in feudal superstitions with strange powers and chaos.
But we do know that it may be a real supernatural thing!
Lao Cao shook his head.
"not yet."
I frowned, wondering if this rich boss was not keeping his word, right? When he needed us before, we thanked him profusely for helping him solve a big problem, but when it came time to return the favor, we made all kinds of excuses?
This makes me a little unhappy.
If that's the case, then I won't mind a little punishment if I meet him again...
Don't think I'm being petty.
Okay, yes, I am so petty!
I am not one of those pedantic self-proclaimed "righteous practitioners" - I have the power to refrain from doing evil and do good deeds, which is already very valuable.
If you are still being bullied and washed away by others, then it still means a hammer! I also practice the hammer method!
Li Miao saw my unhappy expression and calmly comforted me with a few words.
"Brother Wu, don't be too anxious. Maybe something has delayed you. Since Boss Duan has seen your abilities with his own eyes, he will definitely not lie to you."
I also nodded: "Brother Li is right, let's wait and see."
So the four of us started chatting again.
Except for me, a young man, the three of them are all experienced "old people".
Not only have they experienced many weird and terrifying things, but they have also seen many sinister people and a bleak world... Just telling them in ordinary terms made me listen with interest and I was very fascinated.
At the same time, I gained a better understanding of this supernatural world that is difficult for ordinary people to access.
Even the ghost Wang Hu was floating aside, listening attentively.
In addition, some aspects of magic and means will also be discussed.
In this regard, I can chime in from time to time.
After all, my master's level is much higher than theirs, and my vision in practice is not low either. From time to time, I would say something that would make them sigh.
In fact, they were all paraphrasing some of the words that Master usually said to me, and I "stolenly used" them.
I don’t know how long we have been chatting like this...
I guessed it was already getting late, probably around eleven o'clock in the evening.
The town has been very quiet and there are few pedestrians. Why hasn't Bai Su come yet?
Just when I was muttering doubts in my heart, Lao Cao next to me suddenly was stunned.
Then the expression on his face became serious and dignified.
Then, Yuan Fei and Li Miao... both looked a little surprised and nervous.
Wang Hu couldn't help but blurted out.
"What a strong evil spirit, what a terrifying aura!"
He is a ghost, and his sense of monsters is not weak.
After all, demons, ghosts, and supernatural beings other than humans have some reactions to each other. Much more sensitive than ordinary living people.
Yuan Fei stood up directly, picked up his ghost torture stick, and stared at the door of the coffin shop.
Sneered and said.
"Interesting! Such a strong monster energy, it seems like a big monster ran out of some deep mountain and old forest and came into the town. And, it feels like it is coming straight towards the coffin shop?"
Li Miao also said in a deep voice: "There are so many of us here, no matter what old demon or big demon it is, it will only be a dead end when it comes."
Lao Cao was a little uneasy.
He is older, has experienced more things, and is more cautious.
He said: "Don't act rashly. In this peaceful age, monsters basically hide in the mountains and are unwilling to come to places where people live. If you dare to come, you are either crazy or emboldened... Of course, it may also be He is very intelligent. He is just here to do something. If there is no conflict, it would be better to negotiate peacefully."
Seeing their nervous looks, I felt a little funny.
But he didn't say anything.
Bai Su's demonic energy is indeed very powerful.
It's easy to be startled when you first come into contact with it.
However, the murderous spirit and sinister feeling in it are relatively weak. In fact, the sense of deterrence and oppression is not strong.
Are they a little too nervous?
Maybe, after all, I am still young and have not experienced much. The concept of "demon" has not yet been formed in my mind.
In the minds of Lao Cao, Yuan Fei, and Li Miao, they habitually believe that most monsters are bad, right?
It's like young people and old people have different views on many things.
Soon, the evil spirit became stronger and stronger, and got closer and closer.
Snap, snap, snap.
There were strange sounds on the street outside.
It was like the sound of a street light suddenly losing power and going out.
Darkness, deeper than night, instantly enveloped the street outside the coffin shop.
At this time, I was also a little surprised.
"I didn't expect Miss Bai to be quite powerful! The demonic energy she emits can actually directly affect actual objects. It can actually temporarily turn off street lights."
Most monsters and ghosts like to plunge people into darkness.
This can not only act as a deterrent, but also give you an advantage.
But in most cases, it's just through illusion or confusing people's eyesight...the light source itself is still there.
And Bai Su really turned out the street lights on a street!
Of course she wasn't demonstrating, she was doing it to avoid being seen by others. If an ordinary person is frightened, this kind-hearted rabbit demon will probably feel guilty.
But Lao Cao and the others didn't know.
So Yuan Fei, who had a rather impatient temper, immediately started rolling up his sleeves.
"Oh my god! This monster is so powerful. He even turned out the lights on a street. Is this a demonstration?"
Lao Cao also looked unhappy.
At the same time, in the darkness outside the coffin shop.
Two groups of red lights slowly emerged outside the door. They were the eyes of the big demon!
A little higher up, there are two yellow masses of light - but they are much smaller, not much bigger than a pea.
I knew at a glance that it must be Hui Hui who was carried on Bai Su's back, and his eyes glowed in the night. Can't help but feel a little funny.
Lao Cao said in a deep voice: "Here he comes! Be careful, everyone. Don't rush into action yet, try to see if you can communicate."
There are still lights in the coffin shop.
Under the dim light, we clearly saw the person approaching the door...
"What a big rabbit! There's a fox sitting on its back."
Yuan Fei exclaimed.
He held the ghost torture stick in his hand tighter.
Li Miao also took a breath of cold air.
Only I had a narrow smile on my face and coughed lightly.
"Well, cough...don't panic, let me do it!"
As he said that, he walked directly past the three of them and walked to the front, already close to the high threshold of the coffin shop.
Lao Cao's expression suddenly changed and he shouted nervously.
"Xiao Wu, what are you doing?! Come back quickly, monsters of this level are no joke."
He was very anxious.
And I looked at the huge rabbit outside the door and the little gray fox on its back, and said happily.
"Miss Bai, Huihui, you are finally here. Is the journey going well?"
Chirp, chirp.
The rabbit and the fox both barked and nodded.
In my mind, a clear female voice and a slightly childish voice sounded.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Wu. Everything goes well."
"Brother Wu, because Sister Susu couldn't bear to part with some of her collections, it took a long time to put them away. There were also some things that were inconvenient to take away, so I found a place to hide them, so I took it a little slower."
Well……
This little guy really won't get beaten for trying to undermine his sister?
Seeing the scene in front of them, Lao Cao, Yuan Fei, and Li Miao were all stunned.
They all stood there, dumbfounded.
I didn't come back to my senses for a long time.
I turned around and looked at them.
"Everyone, this is Miss Bai Su and kid Huihui. They come over to have a look and get to know you, and then they will live near Lianghe Town."
What? !
Yuan Fei's eyes almost popped out.
He pointed at the giant rabbit at the door.
"This, this, this...is this Miss Bai Su you are talking about? Is she a rabbit demon who has opened up her spiritual intelligence?"
I laughed and nodded: "That's right!"
Then he winked at him and said, "Well, I didn't say Miss Bai Su was a human! Did you understand it wrong?"
Yuan Fei and Li Miao were speechless.
Lao Cao helplessly pointed at me: "Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, you are really too..."
"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding everyone. Miss Bai Su is the rabbit demon raised by Mr. Bai, the Feng Shui master, and Hui Hui is the little fox she rescued a few years ago and has been keeping by her side."
I explained to them and then looked back at Bai Su and Hui Hui.
"Miss Bai, Huihui, you can spread your thoughts into everyone's minds so that they can hear you."
"Okay Mr. Wu."
So, Bai Su sent a message with his mind again and greeted Lao Cao and the others in his mind. Both parties were very polite.
The atmosphere is harmonious.
Especially, knowing that there is a very powerful monster on their side, everyone seems to be more confident.
